The "Official" UnOfficial Medal Guide

This Guide is similar to the Console and PC “Achievement” guides you can find online.

Due to Many Medals being “extended” versions of the other Medals, many Medal guides will appear after its “Hardest” version.

Many of the Counts for certain medals can be check via Various NPCs or other visible Locations such C-Gear, Battle Recorder and Pokédex. Many “random” Medals are statuses noted by the third assistant in Join Avenue.

Some topics may already have Sections in the forum suited to certain helping you get other Medals.

As Many Medals I don't have, I've just given them Difficulty rating based on comments. Due to the Fact that the Global Link/Dream World has shut down, and Nintendo Wifi Service for DS/DSi games will be withdrawn. I will note the Medals that will no longer be obtainable, and many of those that have gotten alot harder to due to the lack of Wifi.

The Order of Medals shown here should be the same as you get when you select "Order by Type" after tapping the Magnifying Glass icon, or Start Button.

(The following event Pokémon are not required: Mew, Celebii, Jirachi, Deoyxs, Manaphy, Phoine, Darkrai, Shaymin, Arceus, Vicitini, Keldeo, Meloetta and Genesect.)

The Lack of Wifi will make this set of medals a lot harder to obtain, However one can obtain them all via Local trading if they own the almost all the games.

Boxes MaxedMedium-Hard
Deposit 720 Pokémon into PC boxes. As the title suggests, this requires you to fill every box.

Catch or Hatch eggs until you fill enough Boxes. This should come naturally while you trying to complete the National Dex or the relevant Parties for other Medals. The use of PokéTransfer, and Pokémon Dream Radar, can also help for this set of medals. *USE OF GEN 6 POKÉMON BANK'S POKÉ-TRANSPORTER CAN HINDER THIS MEDALS PROGRESS*
See also Capturing Spree and Hatching.

Capturing SpreeMedium
Capture at least 50 Pokémon within one day.

Capturing 50 Pokémon is not hard. The use of Quick Balls, Dusk Balls and Repeat Balls should reduce time in battles. Making wild Pokémon Sleep and/or reducing their HP down to 1 via False Swipe or a Pokémon at 1HP using Endeavour. (Yes, the FEAR Strategy also works for catching Pokémon.)
The use of PokéTransfer counts for this Medal, which can be done with ease, as it's almost 2 full boxes.

Vending VirtuosoEasy

The first vending machine you can use is at PokéStar Studios, you must purchase each Drink individually. Most Vending Machines are in “Urban” cites, Like Casteila and Nimbasa.

This is does not need to be done one shopping sale, but can be spread out over the life time of the game. The Hard Part of this is earning enough Money to pay for all the Shopping. Having a Pokémon that using PayDay with Amulet Coin or Luck Incense, while fighting other Trainers will earn a lot of Money. Payday only naturally learned by Meowth. Purrloin can learn it as an Egg Move. An Event-only Skitty also knows this. Also Smergle can Sketch Payday. (The PayDay Skitty event is From “Pokémon Box RS” game and still “active.”)

Heavy TrafficVery Hard

This Set of Medals relies on other people having their C-Gear active while you're playing with your C-Gear on.

Due to the way the Game "saves" the Tag Log, it is Possible to "Farm" this Medal. You can make 1 another game count as all 1000 People. To prevent someone games just adding everytime you reconnect the other game's data is stored. However, when you save the other game's data is not saved, but the count is stored.

In short: After getting the Tag, you save and then turn off both DSes. After that restarting the games and re-taging the same games many times to obtain the count.

It will take at least 100 days of playing Pokémon Dream World to obtain the required 100 Pokémon. The 100 Days count is based on the current Dream World limitations, assuming no Extra Pokémon given out Via Event or delays when maintenance happens.

This is just more time consuming than actually hard. Many good Pokémon for Battle Subway or PWT usually have Egg moves, and are often breed for the battles. Except for trading, you can not obtain eggs until you reach Route 3 Daycare. Having the Oval Charm may increase the rate Eggs that are produced. Getting a Nursery for Link Avenue is can be helpful.

Several types of moves have no effect on the Elite 4 and the Champ, so be prepared and build parties take down their teams. Using Pokémon that are at Level 100 can help for this challenge as you could be facing Pokémon in the early Level 80s. If you have a party that all have the same two types, you can earn two medal for that run if you have not obtain them both yet. Your Party does not have to be full, it can be done on one Pokémon.

One and OnlyVery Hard
Win the Pokémon League with only one Pokémon in the party.

This is the most risky challenge of the lot. Unlike previous 17, where you could switch Pokémon and use Baton Passers, you only have one Pokemon. In this case you’ll need to make sure that you don’t faint, as you’ll have to start again. Having a Level 100 Pokémon is probably the only way, if didn’t choose solo the Elite 4 the first time. You can do a run for this and obtain type medals at the same time. For example: An Articuno solo run could unlock Ice-type, Flying Type and One and Medals at the same time.

This is not Medal or anything to with it, but a Fan made event. It's the one of the faster ways to get trades done faster and more people in the Join Avenue and sometimes the Dream World. This makes the Several Medals Easier to get, and indirectly help get certain medals easier.

Step 1) Catch 2-3 wild Magnemites. Natures, stats, and other info doesn't matter.
Step 2) Put one of your Magnemites up for trade in the Global Trade Station (GTS) and ask for any other Magnemite in return.
Step 3) While waiting for this trade to go through, go on the GTS again and search for the Magnemites of other trainers who are participating in the Coil. Trade one of your other Magnemites for this one.
Step 4) After both trades go through, you should have two new Magnemites from two different trainers, and also more visitors in your Join Avenue.
Step 5) Simply do the process over and over by repeatedly trading your newly-acquired Magnemites for new ones on the GTS. After enough time in the cycle, you may have seen 20-30 different Magnemites from many different nations across the world!
NOTE) As you trade Magnemites, feel free to attach items that you think could help out other members of the Coil. If you are lucky enough to have contracted the Pokerus in your game, you could even pass that beneficial condition to other trainers through the Magnemite Coil as well!

Advantages:

Many of the trading and Join Avenue Medals should complete with ease.

You may be able to Speed up the amount of Visitors in the Dream World.

Users of BW1 can actually join in and help, but they don't get all the advantages. (W1 users may catch them in White Forest, but otherwise trading and breeding is needed. http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-bw/081.shtml)

Search results are delayed - Due to a GTS Server "optimization" technique, it's possible get all the Magnemite Coil Pokémon say "This Pokémon is already Traded," when selected, even if you "refresh" your search.

Sadly no Deino Coil. (Sorry, those who visit Alt Anime forums may get the joke.)

Finally, Magenemite Coil does not have the Serebii "Seel of Approval."

After May 2014, GTS will be closed, so this addition to the "guide" is no longer applicable, but kept for the sake of completeness.

After May 2014, Nintendo will turn off Wifi services for all DS games, This will mean that an additional 4 Medals will no longer available to obtain, bringing the total up to 12 unobtainable medals. Many other Medals are still obtainable, as Wifi use only made getting the Medals easier.

Several Console Games online already have "impossible" Trophies/Achievements due to Servers going down. For Example: Several sports games such has Fifa 09, on the PS3/360 have confirmed by Trophy Hunters/Achievement Hunters to be impossible to complete certain Trophies/Achievements due to the Servers being shut down. In many cases, a Press release was given some time before the actual shut down.

Okay. For SignBoard Savvy, it's not the signs you need to look it, it's Trainer Tip signs. This can simply be done by reading the grayish dark signs found on almost every route (some small ones like Route 12 don't have one.) As for the Tag Log ones, it has to be up to 100 different trainers. I guess it might work if you make multiple file restarts, but regularly, it works like Spiritomb did in DPPt. And Pokerus Discover and Lucky Color do work when traded into the game. I got it when I traded over my boxed Pokerus and Shiny pokemon from White. As for the participant and host medals they are spot on with how to obtain them. On a side note, please don't think of the post as rude. I'm just trying to emphasize some points by making the words that are in bold and such.

Just pointing out that for the Lucky Drink medal, the chance of getting an extra drink from a vending machine is 3%.

Nice to to know.. That's works out to roughly 1 in every 34 Drinks Purchased.

I may need to change the Signs, but haven't really got all the time do the actual testing.

I am assuming given the Tag log counts are like DPPt's Spirtomb's counter, on my Black 1 and Black 2 is the counter for this. I've got about 13 each from 5 other games. I'm only going confirm it when I get the medal for 30.

Glad to know about those Pokérus and Shiny, I've been considering bring over one of my "Shiny Gerbils" from 4th gen after infecting it with PKRS (if I still have it).

Actually, your post is not rude. I just added just in case to limit really unhelpful posts. I've not actually stated it as a rules.

Dual types do work for the Type champ medals. I don't know for sure if it has to be their first type, but you should get the medal as long as the entire team is the same type.

Black 2 (Badge quest): Flare Lv.16, Aerial Lv.18, Lava Lv.10, Aura Lv.14, Beacon Lv.15, MEOWTH Lv.100 (I know I suck at nicknaming. That's why I never nickname anybody, but for this I will be with the exception of shinies. Also, MEOWTH is only for making money with Pickup.)

Until someone can actually confirm it, given that most sites state Flying-type being Secondary except in the one case that I linked to above, I'm going to guess as long they all share a common type I assume they can be used.

Wait a sec... where? In the tube that is. Ex. First part, Chasm, Second part. Scratch that. Just saw one in the chasm area. So they do appear around 3 P.M. Someone should make a note of that so everyone else can know.

Also, getting a good review in a musical is extremely easy if you follow the basic rule of using four accessories that fit the musical's theme, two of another type that don't fit its theme, and one each of the two remaining types. So, for the first musical, you can go with four cool accessories, two cute ones, one unique, and one elegant.

From there, you're basically guaranteed to get the second highest rating (Which is sufficient for the medal) as long as you appeal at a good time.

I know there's one in Opelucid City, telling you that Drayden can teach Draco Meteor.

I'll Check out Zoura a little later. Just to confirm it.

This one should be easy. Lenora gives you a choice of Unova Fossils once you take a couple more steps into the museum.

Should probably be easy - it appears around 3 pm.

I'll add all 3 bits of info, soon.

Thanks for the info.

From what I can tell, there is no "Memory Master" medal, unless there are some Memory Link cutscenes only available via WiFi, which I can't access. As far as the in-game ones go, I know I have them all and have them all viewed with no medal to show for it, except for the Beginning of the Memory medal for watching the first one.

For the photoboard one, you have to put your face behind the right side with the female Frillish in order to receive the medal.

Oh, also, the Catching Spree and 30 Boxed medals can be easily achieved via PokéTransfer, if you transfer over hordes of Pokémon at a time within a single day. Lucky Color will also unlock if you transfer over your HGSS red Gyarados or any randomly-caught shiny from DPPtHGSS.

I just checked, and I can recieve the Memory Master medal. I haven't done the Loblolly part, nor battled Cheren. I wonder why it's not working for you... have you checked the list on your memory link menu? Perhaps you need to do that to get the medal. *shrug*

Also, I didn't check about recieveing the medal, but I was able to take a picture behind both the male and female heads. I'd go and recheck, but it's a pain because I haven't been picking up my medals. I wish it would give you all of what you've earned in one go.

Yes I have, they're all marked with checks and as far as I know, I've unlocked them all from my White1 adventuring. Is there anything you've done that maybe I haven't? I haven't received my birthday prop from the musical theatre, I probably haven't spoken to every NPC who mentions my W1 character by name, and I have not captured any of N's Pokémon except for the gift Zorua.

As for the photoboard one, yeah, it does sometimes work with either Frillish head, but it's pretty random, and I usually have better luck with the female Frillish head.

I don't have Memory Master either. Having looked it up on the net, I seem to be missing a flashback you get in the Musical Theatre, probably because I didn't participate in any musicals on my Black file.

100% of information in signatures on this forum involving percentages is false. If you feel as cheated by this atrocity as I do, don't you dare copy this into your signature.
Hold on... if this percentage was correct at the time of print, that means the actual percentage of false information is less than 100% if this signature is included. Which means that... no! I've become a slave to the system!!

Ok, since I have have 150 medals now, I think I have a few things I can confirm. If more evidence is needed, I can provide it.

Noneffective Artist
Easy?
Use moves that aren't very effective against the opponent. May need planning?

You can also fight in a double battle, and use a move like Earthquake with a Flying type partner to get the medal. It does not have to be the opponent. I'd say it's easy, since you can use early double grass for this.

I tried this on Area 10 of Black Tower to get the Undefeated: Hard medal, and there is nowhere near 1,000 trainers in the tower, so I'm sure this one functions like the Battle Repeater medal, being a running total, and not all at once.

This is only possible via trading, and certain types can only be traded from the other games. Visiting Serebii.net Trade Forums and using GTS are the best way to make trades.
(I assume that following event Pokémon are not required: Mew, Celebii, Jirachi, Deoyxs, Manaphy, Phoine, Darkrai, Shaymin, Arceus, Vicitini Keldeo Meloetta and Genesect.)

I've finished the National dex, minus Meloetta of course, and I have the medal, so your assumption would be correct.

Reason: Pokerus Discover was already confirmed

Hm... well I have run into a couple of N's pokemon but I doubt I've encountered everyone who mentions the old hero. I doubt either of those would trigger it, but maybe I'm wrong. Did you recieve any props from the guy in the musical? I recieved a full case, but I would assume recieving just some would work. It shows you the same flashback of the guy... the flashback is called "Farewell, Beloved Sister," I see it's not listed on the site's page on the flashbacks. I did link with two different games and see memories from both (I only had a full case on my White game, so I linked to that specifically to get that case). I don't know, it's confounding me at the moment.

And Pokerus Discover and Lucky Color do work when traded into the game. I got it when I traded over my boxed Pokerus and Shiny pokemon from White.

I can confirm this too.

I've done some testing regarding the passerby medals. The people you pass do not have to be unique, you can pass-by the same game. However you can not pass by the same game more than once during one session (session = time when you turn the ds on to when you save), even if that game you're trying to pass by is turned off a long period of time. You can pick them up again by saving then resetting even if the game you're passing by is left on (though that game won't be able to pass by yours again until it's resetted). Passing by does work in sleep mode, though if your DS's battery is on red c-gear turns itself off in sleep mode. For any pass-by to count, you need to actually click on the little lights on the c-gear. I've not tested it, but as they're only 10 lights I'm guessing you can only get 10 pass-bys per "session".
And just a side note that isn't relevant to medal collecting: if you use a BW1 game to pass by a BW2 game that's in a BW2 exclusive area, the passby for BW1 won't count but the one in BW2 will. This is because it comes up with a map of where in unova the person you're passing by is. Though I just tried using BW1 to pass-by BW2 in PWT, and it claimed that BW2 was in cold storage and the passby counted. But if you're in the places like Asperta (with no BW1 equivalent), the pass by doesn't come up in BW1 (though it will for BW2).
